Gen X here. Couldn’t buy a house until I was 35.

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago

I'm 41 and we are two families crammed into one house.

[-] whatisallthis@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

My next door neighbors are in the same situation

[-] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Millennial here. Over half of my friends will never own a house. And we are in the cheapest part of Canada to buy houses in.

[-] whatisallthis@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Well. At least we both will never get to retire!

Spent all of my retirement savings to buy 1/4 of a house that will take 30 years to pay off. If I'm lucky I can start saving again when I'm 65.

I work union. I will be able to retire. But only because I work for a union.

I'm a millennial but I was gonna say this meme would be more appropriate if you replaced millennial with Gen X, you guys got the shit end of the stuck just like the rest of us unfortunately.

They got more affordable housing than we did though. Young millennials have to deal with $500K+ houses, but genX had $100-200K houses throughout the 90s and early 00s during a booming economy.

Nothing like boomers though, with their cheap ass sub $100K houses.

There is no genx community on Lemmy and the sub was interesting. Does anyone want to make a community for it?

[-] Catpocalypse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

That would take effort. Does anyone from GenX really wanna do that?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Dammit, would it be wrong for this millennial to make it the?

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Do it. We all watched Field of Dreams.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I was wrong. It exists, my instance jus hadn't federated with it yet. I should have checked

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Will do. Unfortunately my instance temporarily blocked immunity creation and I don't want more centralization on Lemmy.world I kind of like the idea of genx being on sh.itjust.works so I'll just wait.

[-] Catpocalypse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

As someone in that weird space of end GenX/too early to be Millennial, I support you.
